Newest park takes shape

Rockdale’s newest park—Sumuel Park at the corner of MLK and Fourth—is growing a little bit each time you turn around. Here, Lee Campos helps install the playing surface under Sumuel Park’s playscape, which will be a focal point for youngsters using the new facilities. Sumuel Park, named for a longtime Rockdale family, will also feature a walking trail and butterfly garden. It has been the location for recent community work days sponsored through the City of Rockdale and Rockdale Park Board.
